This Sunday will be the fourth race of the season at the Imola circuit, where Checo Pérez will try to maintain the impressive pace he showed during Saturday's sprint qualification and thus win his first victory of the year at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
He expressed this in the mixed zone before the race, where the tapatio was questioned about the performance of his Red Bull and hinted that he has the ability to score valuable points for the team and even score the third victory of his career.
This would mean that the Mexican would have to beat on the track, for the first time since his arrival on the Austrian team, his teammate Max Verstappen, who will start from pole position, followed by Charles Leclerc.
“I am satisfied with the result and with the pace. It's the least we needed today to minimize yesterday's damage,” said the Mexican, referring to the P7 he won in the Qualy after suffering a festival of red flags, produced by clashes between Carlos Sainz, Kevin Magnussen and Lando Norris.
He later added his desire to start the engines and race in Italy from third place, a site that was won after four overruns in less than 12 laps during Saturday's sprint race.
“You looked comfortable in the car, will you win with it tomorrow?” , asked the English interviewer, so that Sergio would answer forcefully:
In order for the Mexican to succeed in Italy, in addition to beating Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, who will start from the front line of the grid, he will have to contain Carlos Sainz and his powerful Ferrari, who will start from fourth place, almost on par with the Mexican.
For this reason, the Mexican's task looks complicated, but not impossible, especially after the results he achieved in the Sprint Race, where despite starting seventh and losing time in overruns, he finished 1.7 seconds away from Charles Leclerc, who lost performance early on soft tyres.
This Sunday you will be able to experience the first battle, wheel to wheel, of Sergio Pérez with one of the Ferrari, a situation that was barely seen in Jeddah with Carlos Sainz, and that has not yet appeared against Leclerc, so he still does not excite his fans with this fight.
